Klappentext

"Jadagen Warnkan Barnden" is a detailed and intimate account of Gija knowledge of seasonal and climatic change through painting, story and language. This exhibition and publication seeks to strengthen and pass on Gija ways of knowing to younger generations within our own community and to people beyond. Linguist Frances Kofod writes, "Gija culture is not static but has evolved to take account of the changing world. Today painting lies at its heart. It is particularly appropriate that the Gija changing climate story is told in paintings, as the whole Warmun Turkey Creek Art movement began as the result of a weather event. The woman whose spirit gave the Goorirr Goorirr to Rover Thomas was killed in a car accident when the rainbow snake crossed the road in a storm. The paintings carried on the shoulders of the dancers in this song and dance cycle were the start of a tradition carried on today. This series of paintings provides an original and enlightening presentation of Gija seasonal indicators and perceptions of weather and climate. The accompanying book of stories is also an important addition to the corpus of Gija literature."
